    Might just be a little too far for something that I am sure will make it here. But, is it just me but I pull up nothing when I go to the store sites and do searches. I wish they would get better about their inventory listings.

    Jazz is as big as Optimus Prime?

    Prime is as small as Jazz?

    Yeah, I know he was as small as WFC Bumblebee, but it's even more noticeable this time around.

    Nothing in stock by me. Shockwave is a necessity for me.

    Target's computers show the set date for these to be July 29. So sometime during that week they should show up on the pegs nationwide. (And be in the stockroom at least a week before that.)

    Kewl. Thanks for the heads up. Everytime I search I pull up nothing anyways. But makes since for it to be closer to the game's release date.

    ...which could not come sooner.

    These became available yesterday at one of the Targets in my area, which is weird, because South Jersey usually gets everything weeks/months after they start to appear! I was able to pick up all three figs! Nice looking figures, but yeah, they are tiny. The Shockwave one is the smallest, which is disappointing because I don't think he will look well scaled against other Classics Deluxes. At least Jazz has some bulk to him. Ah, well. They are cool-looking figures, though. Must open them up soon!

    In all the pictures I've seen, Shockwave is the biggest.
    Unless you mean in terms of mass, not how tall it is, then yeah he is the smallest.

    EDIT: How come only Shockwave has a "WARNING" on his box on the front near the "TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS" logo? Jazz has smaller parts than him.

    Just picked up Jazz and Shockwave at TRU. Used a $10 off $50 coupon and also purchased the Crimson POC Hiss Tank. So check your local TRU.

    In the packaging, Shockwave looks shorter than both Prime and Jazz. Maybe it will be different when I get them out. I didn't notice that warning before. Acutally it is Jazz that has the warning, and the only reason I can think of would be that his gun is smaller than Shockwave's and Optimus', so I guess it is considered a choking hazard.

    EDIT: Oh wait, I see the Warning sticker. Weird- Jazz has the Warning at the bottom of the package, but Shockwave has a sticker added to the top. I don't know why that warning sticker was added to Shockwave.

    Maybe he's placed lower than the rest in the box?

    And maybe it's for the removable gun barrel.

    Maybe its for the feet (if they snap off).

    Or maybe its because he's just that fraking evil.

    Bingo. I just opened them, and the packaging is deceptive! When holding the packaging up even to each other, Jazz looks the tallest, followed by Prime, and then Shockwave, who appears slightly smaller than Prime. Out of the package, it is the exact opposite! Shockwave is *slightly* taller than Prime, while Jazz is the shortest!

    I posed them with a Classics Starscream and Classics Ultra Magnus also. Though Shockwave should be taller than Starscream (I think), they end up being the same height (roughly) and they don't look too bad together. FOC Optimus should be taller, though!

    So, sorry for my slight misinformation earlier. I think I am happy with Shockwave now. Yeah, a little taller would have been nice, but I think he is perfectly fine for a Classics display. Nice!
